Looks like Google owns the app space

Google has captured five of the top six spots in the mobile app space, and it isn't likely that they will be slowing down any time soon. That chart as shown above is the number of unique (as in you only get counted once) users of the top 10 mobile apps on Android and iOS for the month of December 2012, and as you can see Google is just tearing it up. In fact, according to Comscore, Google would have also grabbed the number one spot were it not for the maps fiasco in iOS 6.

Google has consistently stated that one of Android's primary goals was to put the Internet, and their apps, into as many hands as possible. With upwards of 75-percent market share alone, and close to 95-percent when combined with the Google-friendly iOS, it sure is a straight highway down to domination.
